Why Do You Need a PESA Procedure at Janisthaa - The Best Fertility Clinic in Bangalore?

PESA is a medical procedure for women known as Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration. Fertility specialists use needles to perform this invasive procedure. The infertility doctors retrieve sperm from the epididymis for the IVF procedure. Some men face blockage issues, which lead to their inability to release viable sperm. It can be a result of a possible infection in the testicular area or due to a prior vasectomy. Hence, fertility doctors put men under local anaesthesia for the PESA procedure, especially if they are facing male infertility issues.

Why Should You Undergo a PESA Procedure?

If men face infertility issues, PESA is one of the most viable procedures for them. Their inability to release viable sperm leads to infertility, which they can solve by getting consultation from the best infertility doctor in Bangalore – Dr. Shwetha Y Baratikkae. Your dreams of becoming a father are not too far behind with the PESA procedure to help you overcome the infertility problem. 

Why Would You Benefit From PESA?

  • It is a beneficial procedure for men having low sperm count.
  • If the fertility specialists diagnose an abnormality in your sperm anatomy, you can benefit from the PESA procedure, which helps with cases of low sperm morphology. 
  • The PESA procedure benefits men having low mobility of sperm.
  • For men facing a blockage issue in their reproductive tract, the PESA procedure can help them release sperm.
  • Men facing infertility issues due to immune factors or infectious diseases can benefit from the PESA procedure.

PESA is a laboratory-based procedure, meticulously executed to optimize fertilization. The process involves selecting a single sperm with the aid of a fine glass needle and directly injecting it into the egg’s cytoplasm. This method offers a higher chance of fertilization compared to traditional IVF, where multiple sperm are required to achieve fertilization. Stimulation of the ovaries is essential to ensure egg maturation, and this is achieved by using medications, similar to the IVF process.

Once the eggs have matured, they are retrieved through a procedure known as Follicular Puncture, conducted in the laboratory where matured follicles are collected. The best quality sperm is carefully selected, and the ICSI procedure is performed. Following fertilization, the embryos are cultured in the laboratory for 3 to 5 days. Subsequently, the fertilized eggs are transferred back into the uterus with a cannula, allowing the embryo to implant against the uterine lining for further development. Any remaining embryos can be vitrified for use in later cycles, eliminating the need for ovarian stimulation.

RESULTS

After PESA, your healthcare provider closely monitors the fertilized egg in the laboratory for signs of successful fertilization. Typically, a healthy fertilized egg should divide into cells and form a blastocyst within five to six days. The success rate of PESA is approximately around 60-65%, providing renewed hope for couples aspiring to become parents.
